Twisted Kilt Forge

Tiny sgian dubh... very rough, lots of cleaning up to do. But I think the integral guard will turn out nice

That took a little longer than expected, but it’s coming along. 100% forged to shape... integral sgian dubh

Feels good... missed this...

Oh my... what in the world could be in store for this block of W2? Could it be some sort of integral sgian dubh...

Our “family room” is a fire pit... not a tv. How about yours fam????

Life....

So Amanda and I have spent all day cleaning, organizing, and removing CLUTTER that has accumulated on the shop & forging room over the last 12+ months since BS18...

Obviously you guys know how horrible I feel for being on such a one hiatus from making blades, but know that you’re always on my mind. I committed myself to coming home this off-hitch and stop making excuses (like an extremely
DIRTY & DISORGANIZED shop.

It’s very easy to let life get in the way, and lose focus. It’s been a busy 12 months, and the new property will always be here... but time to realign and re-focus my efforts on other “passions” again.

What do you think of the new sign? It’s intended for the “new shop build”, but I figured I would let it air out a bit and gather some patina.
.. So the forge is clean, the clutter removed from in front of the machines... and the fire & steel is calling. The hammers know my heart, and beckon me...

Great things to come... Thanks for your patience, all.
